This ppt follows on from “Analysis of choreographic content - Artificial Things” and continues to break down the choreographic devices, relationships and key movement phrases in the focus sections (Dave and Laura’s Duet, Tumbling and Gliding).

This sequence of PPTS was written for my year 13s. It is a long project and is adaptable for younger students (8-12 weeks) It lays out what unit 6 is and starts their investigation. Students will research and practically explore the dance idea “Human Rights”. This can be used as intended or adapted for other groups who want to explore this topic It includes several teacher led choreographic tasks and leads students to develop and deliver their own workshop lesson to the class based on their research. From each workshop, as the teacher, you then facilitate the rehearsal process to produce their pieces for final performance. When I did this my class of 12 produced a 50min production. As part of the project you also explore Ghost Dances and the work of Christopher Bruce.

I have created a reusable resource that requires only you to choose a dance work to watch. It asks GCSE style questions aimed at KS3. All your students need are a link to watch any work you choose and this resource.

It is double lesson and can be extended to 3 lessons if you need more time. Students are guided to explore the style and create their own Robbins motif and then evaluate another persons.

Subject: Teacher Training CPD Topic: Differentiation for high attainers Quite often we are very clear on how to differentiate for our lower attainers but we forget that this strategy should also be used for “stretch and challenge” This pack contains an hours CPD training on differentiation for higher attainers. I delivered this at my school for my department when it was a key focus for our school development plan and it went down really well - and I enjoyed delivering it, I hope you do too. Included: PPT for training session Facilitator guide Resource for participants Command words (GCSE) Task design resource Not included: You will also need the marks scheme for your subject area

Subject: Dance Topic: Booklet for non- participant/ SEN student to access the class I designed this PPT booklet for a SEN student that struggled to access the class and would sometimes remove himself from practical learning. This resource was a great way for him to show his understanding and still participate. We used it to allow him the opiton of practical or theory each lesson and it worked really well. I hope you can also use it.

This is three lessons in 1 ppt. It is usable for online learners and contains links to resources they will need. You will need to also set up FLIPGRID in order to see their videos (or any other ways - google classroom, teams etc) It covers the basics of Flamenco and an introduction to its origins. Students will also create their own 8 count “Zapeteado” rhythm. You can have them do this as solos or in pairs. The 3rd lesson is working in pairs to create duets using mirroring and unsion.

This is the introduction lesson to my Capoeira scheme of work. In this lesson students will learn the basic actions (images and video linked in resource). Please note it is best that you learn these actions yourself prior to delivering the class so you can demonstrate them. Students then create their own short sequence as a soloist and then develop this in pairs. At the end of the lesson students watch an excerpt from A Linha Curva to reflect on how Itziki Galili incorporated this in his work (Links to GCSE). The full scheme of work and resources are available in my shop should you like this lesson.

This free resource is the first of three lesson workshops exploring how Jerome Robbins builds tension and tells stories through dance. In this lesson students can learn some stylised actions (videos provided) and develop a short group sequence as “The Jets”. This lesson was written for year 8 but can be adapted for older and younger dancers. The final task can also be extended into a second lesson of refining their work ready to perform it. Look out for the next two lessons if you enjoyed this one!

I use the feedback prompts to encourage students to give constructive peer feedback; the non- doers worksheets are handy for students with out kit.
